Photos of Malia Obama from the inauguration created a deal of interest in her dress, which was designed by J. Crew.

The Obama girls' quest for a puppy to join them in the White House as the "first pet" has gained a lot of attention. President Obama has said the dog must be hypoallergenic because Malia is allergic.
